Give me some ideas..?

The absolute best way to turn him on is to surprise him. Make the move on him in an unusual location or setting. Break any scheduling habits you may have also. The more you talk about it, he will probably grow uncomfortable. If you play the feminist point of view...He is not going to go for it.

Answer 6

Try sticking to bland foods. If you need to adjust the foods your husband is eating because they bother yo, then do so. It's his pregnancy too.
Or try eating a little before him, things you can tolerate well, and ask him to cook for himself.
It will pass fairly soon.

Answer 7

try changing the times that you normally eat. Eat fruity sorbets to keep the palate clean and stick with comfort foods. My sister had similar problems so it was creamy soups or spoonfuls of peanutbutter.
